If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Brett, that's a killer cover. How are you going to frame the horror? Is it going to be Lovecraft-esque or some other take?

To avoid confusion...

The horrors are in Ghostories. The established ones are ghosts, embodied spirits, phantoms, and banes - these are classifications, with a variety for each. Lost souls are introduced in the enhancement pack. Mean Streets is also available as a stand-alone game and is compatible with Ghostories, so you can run film noir horror games by combining the two. Lovecraftian horrors are easy to make as banes, or you could come up with your own custom stuff given the array of special horror powers. A PDF of new horrors (like vampires, werewolves, etc.) is also in the works.

The cover image is for Mean Streets, a film noir supplement for Two-Fisted Tales. No horror, though you can add it yourself given 2FT's animal/monster rules.

Hey! F*çk you guys! I'm the good one. :spank:

Seriously though. The new cover to Mean Streets looks awesome. And it's nice that it's being rolled into 2FT.

I should also mention that I've been working on a GDi Supers game. They said it couldn't be done (well, I said it wasn't intended for it), but the game will feature scalable powers. This is a true deviation from other GDi games as they mostly had fixed scales.

I hope you do, that will rock.

Oh it will rock! Maybe. It should be surprisingly easy and flexible. The hard part will be working out how to organize the powers and I'm up in the air about which of two different scalable damage mechanics to use.

6 projects on the go. That's even more than me.

I'm curious about Warcosm. What scale are you looking at (how many ships per player)?
Humans should have been assigned a wisdom penalty.

Wow. This sounds promising! Brett, will the powers system be based on effects (ala HERO, Atomik Plugins) or will it be more of a shopping list?
